Donated by Luanne von Schneidemesser, 2011. ---- / ---- From Wikipedia.de: August Crull (born January 27, 1845 in Rostock, died February 17, 1923 in Milwaukee; full name: Johann Friedrich August Crull) was a German-American Lutheran theologian, educator, and writer. Born into an academic family in Mecklenburg, Crull's family immigrated to the United States in 1855. While the family first settled in New Orleans, August Crull attended Concordia College in St. Louis, Missouri, and Fort Wayne, Indiana. He then studied theology at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, and was ordained in 1865. After one year as an assistant pastor in Milwaukee, he spent a year in Dresden seeking a cure for a sore throat. In 1868 he returned to the United States and worked as city editor at a German newspaper in St. Louis. ---- From 1869 to 1871 he was director of a Lutheran High School, and from 1871 to 1873 pastor of a large Lutheran church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1873 he was appointed Professor of German and French at the Concordia College in Fort Wayne. Here he taught for 42 years until 1915, and spent his retirement in Milwaukee. His first wife, Sophie, born Viewend, was the daughter of a professor in St. Louis, and three of his four children from that marriage died before him. His second marriage was to Katharina John of Milwaukee. August Crull was a distinguished hymnologist, publishing several English hymn books, some with his own translations of German hymns. He published a German grammar and edited a book of devotions, Das walte Gott, based on the writings of Dr. C. F. W. Walther, wrote many pedagogical works, and was editor of the Concordian, the German magazine for graduates of Concordia College. |
